Description

One of my most innovative and unique products is my adjustable cross-ties. If you cross-tie your horse, you will love these ties.

These ties are different than my other cross-ties. These are one, 14 foot long piece of rope with three rings in the center that ropes drop down from. There's two rings and a carabiner at each end for securing to the stalls (as opposed to 2, 8 1/2 foot pieces used for the regular cross ties). This set comes complete with the overhead line and two short trailer ties for the drop down ropes.

To make it clear, the overhead cross-ties can only be used if you use the short trailer ties to drop down to the horse's halter, where the standard cross ties hook directly to the horse's halter and the wall. The regular cross ties can be used as an overhead cross tie if you hook the snaps together. They will then be 17 feet long.

Thanks to Jim Patterson for forwarding the pictures of the cross ties in use in his barn.  Jim and his wife Joan have bought ropes from me from the beginning and have been good customers and friends.  What I like about the pictures is it shows a great overhead crosstying technique and how you can customize it to your liking.  If you notice, he used a turnbuckle on one side to control the tension in the overhead line.  That's what's nice about these cross-ties - they are very versatile.  You have many different ways of hooking them up - whatever you can dream up.

This is a complete set for the OVERHEAD style cross-ties - with the cross-ties and two trailer ties for them.
